Golden Womb: (Rig Veda 10.121). ( 33’’ X 42’’).

                                     The Creator in this hymn (Rig Veda 10.121) is called  Hiranyagarbha,  a  truly  pregnant  term. It is a compound noun, whose first element means Gold and whose  second  element  means Womb, seed, embryo or child.

                                    This  hymn   becomes   prominent  in  the cosmogenic myth  of  the  golden  egg,  that  separates  the  two  shells becoming  the  sky  and  other shell being the earth, while the yolk being the Sun.

    The  art  depicts  the  first  birth , before  anything  got  created   in   this  universe. The  color   white   is  used  to indicate  that there was not even color created  before  the earth, sky and sum was born.  The yolk  which is the Sun floats in the water, sea,  or  any  watery  substance  on earth and the  watery  Substance  in the  sky  in  the form  of clouds. This is similar  to a baby in  the  mothers’ womb which is placed  in a  jelly  type  substance  which  is  in the  form of water.
